Joshua's school has given every boy a skipping rope and we are now working towards a skip-a-thon for the Prep School in mid-September. Each boy has to get sponsors and then on the skip-a-thon day 'perform' by doing as many skips as possible. As much as Joshua wanted to put down a goal of doing 1,000 skips, we instead convinced him to write that he would do as many skips as he possibly can in the time allocated - phew !!
It is nothing unusual to arrive at school in the morning to find the quad full of at least 50 boys, all with their skipping ropes out doing tricks and skipping to music that is roaring out of the surround sound speakers and a few teachers up the front on the verandah also skipping and yelling out enthusiastic encouragement - sometimes the music is so catchy that even Mummy wishes she had a skipping rope !
